About the Company

Our client is a specialist contractor delivering high-quality office fit-out and refurbishment projects across the UK. With a strong pipeline of work and a collaborative pre-construction and delivery team, they are continuing to grow and are now looking to strengthen their Pre-Construction function with a junior hire.

The Role

This is a junior Pre-Construction role supporting the Pre-Construction Manager in the full tender lifecycle, from initial enquiry through to handover to delivery.

The role would suit someone with site-based / delivery experience who is looking to transition into a pre-construction environment, or a junior professional with some estimating or commercial exposure who understands how projects are built.

Delivery knowledge and understanding of the build process are considered more important than pure estimating experience, as cost-based skills can be developed over time.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the Pre-Construction Manager through the full tender lifecycle
• Qualify and review tender enquiries, drawings and specifications
• Coordinate subcontractor pricing and manage tender information
• Assist with pricing, benchmarking and value engineering
• Carry out site surveys and develop scopes of work
• Prepare and submit tenders to agreed deadlines
• Attend client meetings and assist with bid presentations
• Prepare clear handover information for delivery teams

Candidate Profile

Essential:

• Previous delivery / site-based experience within construction
• Strong understanding of how projects are built and sequenced
• Willingness and confidence to present and engage with clients
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Ability to work collaboratively within a team environment

Desirable:

• Experience within office fit-out or refurbishment (advantageous but not essential)
• Background as a Junior Contracts Manager, Assistant Site Manager, Estimator or similar
• Exposure to tendering, estimating or commercial processes
• Experience compiling programmes or logistics plans

Why Join?

• Opportunity to transition into a Pre-Construction career path
• Strong support and mentoring from an experienced Pre-Construction Manager
• Exposure to the full tender lifecycle on high-quality office fit-out projects
• Clear development and progression opportunities within a growing business
